傾聽虛無：非規範性倫理的悖論與缺席的在場

Listening to the Void: The Paradox of Non-Prescriptive Ethics and the Presence of Absence

本文探討Giovanni Scarafile之對話倫理（Dialogethics）中的未聞之痛（unheardalgia）——即一種「未被聽見」的苦難。本文認為，Scarafile將視角從視覺中心主義轉向聽覺聚焦，開啟了一種藉由聽覺的被動性來接納他者的極限體驗。然而，在Scarafile論述中的非規範性與情境關注之間的緊張關係，可能導致倫理癱瘓的風險，使對話退化為單純的回聲。儘管如此，同樣是在這種失敗之中，一種更高層次的倫理油然而生，亦即藉由直面無理解的言說，主體轉向了外部（Dehors）——即一種缺席的在場。最終，本文認為，未聞之痛在主體內部建造了一種裂隙，將倫理重構為一種守望。這成為了大屠殺以及那些被歷史抹除者的沈默言說之不可磨滅的見證，確保了他者的地位永不被抹除。

This paper explores unheardalgia—the suffering of being unheard—within Giovanni Scarafile’s Dialogethics. Shifting from ocularcentrism to an auditory focus, Scarafile opens a“limit-experience”that welcomes the Other through the passivity of hearing. However, the tension between“nonprescriptivity”and“situated attention”risks an ethical paralysis where dialogue regresses into a mere echo. Yet, through this failure, a higher ethics emerges. By confronting a“speech without understanding”, the subject turns toward the Outside (Dehors)—the presence of an absence. Ultimately, unheardalgia institutionalizes a gap within the subject, reconfiguring ethics as a vigil. This serves as an indelible witness to the Holocaust and the“silent speech”of those silenced by history, ensuring the Other’s place is never erased.
